This slice is delicious warm as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, or serve it at room temperature for afternoon tea.
We made it at rowing camp as dessert for 70 rowers (just multiply the recipe) and it was a hit. So much so that I came home with a new favourite recipe.
The original source seems to have come from Food magazine and then the Countdown website, I have made a couple of modifications to the original recipe in terms of proportions of ingredients (more flour and lots more chocolate) plus have added lemon zest.

Yield: Serves 10 as dessert or cut into 20 pieces

Ingredients

200g (7 oz)butter, softened

1 cup (200g or 7oz)sugar

1 teaspoonfinely grated lemon zest

Line a 28 x 19cm (19 x 7.5 inches) slice pan with baking paper.
Mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the lemon zest and egg, beat well.
Add the combined flour and baking powder and mix well.
Press 3/4 of the mixture into the slice pan.
